🧵 Sagas

Running stories told in parts: a case, an investigation or an event followed as it develops, each development a story of its own on the front pages. A saga is kept here after its parts leave the front pages. Two stories become parts of one saga when their headlines are close in meaning, share a name, and our local language model, asked two ways, agrees they're one running story (11 so far, 10 on the front pages now). Our records start Oct 2, 2026: a part first seen then may have broken earlier, on more outlets than the "first on" count says.
